Wait a second ...  I think we're talking about different
things here.

I'm aware that diablo-jdk is a binary for FreeBSD 6, so
it clearly depends on compat6x when running on 7.0.

However, when I compile my own native JDK on FreeBSD 7
(either jdk15 or jdk16), I assume it will be a FreeBSD 7
binary, so it only depends on FreeBSD 7 libraries, so it
does not need compat6x.

As far as I know, the native JDK (e.g. jdk16) can be
bootstrapped using diablo-jdk, so I will need compat6x
for that.  But as soon as the build is done, I do not
need the diablo-jdk anymore, hence I don't need copat6x
anymore either.

Am I wrong?

Best regards
